Windows Movie Maker can be used to create movie presentations that include pictures, video, and audio. You can use pictures from a digital camera, PowerPoint, or downloaded from the Internet. Users can insert audio, title and credit slides, and transition effects. These movies can be easily created by students and are a good alternative PowerPoint.

Windows Movie Maker is free and comes with Windows XP. If you don't have it you can download it from the Microsoft site.
